Just found this app in the store. Fantastic app for me as a self employed courier. Tells me exactly how much I've really earnt per job. I like how its linked to maps

Driving more doesn't always mean earning more.
Miles tell you how far you drove. DropLane tells you whether it was worth it.
Three steps, and only one is yours
There is no start button in DropLane, on purpose. Nobody remembers to press one at six in the morning with a van full of packages.
Turn it on once
Install the app and allow location in the background. That's the last bit of setup there is.
Drive
Every drive saves itself, with the route, the stops, and how long you were at each one.
Pick its type with one tap
Business, empty, on the way to a pickup, or personal. The totals and the mileage claim follow on their own.

Notifications
“Always” lets drives record with the app closed.
While you're driving, a Live Activity keeps the miles climbing on the lock screen — so you can see the drive being recorded without unlocking anything.
What you get back
Made for the job as it really is, by someone who does it.
Know your real profit
Income minus gas and costs, per day, week and month.
Know your real hourly rate
See which days and jobs actually pay, once gas, financing and insurance are spread across the days you work.
Records ready when you need them
Trips, mileage and a PDF for your accountant, with the IRS mileage rate built in.
It also looks after the van: service, tires and repairs logged with the receipt photo, a reminder before the inspection is due, service reminders that count down in miles, and gas-card costs worked out on the day you fill up. And it speaks 46 languages, with the money in your currency.

Questions drivers actually ask
Straight answers, from someone who does the job.
Do I have to press start?
No — and there's no button to press. That's the whole point. If you have to remember, you'll forget on the day it matters.
Will my route history end up somewhere?
No. There's no account and no server. Everything lives on your iPhone, and backs up only to your own iCloud if you want it to.
I drive a bike, not a van.
That works. Cargo-bike miles are recorded the same way. The built-in mileage rates are for motor vehicles, though, so what a bike can claim depends on your country and your circumstances — worth asking an accountant.
Does it work where there's no signal?
Yes. Recording runs off your iPhone's own GPS and needs no internet at all. Drives recorded with no signal come back labeled “Start” and “End” instead of street names, and DropLane fills those in the next time it sees Wi-Fi. A week on back roads with no bars still adds up right.
What if I stop paying — do I lose my records?
Nothing is deleted, and the app keeps recording. Your drives stay on the iPhone and in your own iCloud, and the miles you drive in the meantime are waiting when you come back. What locks is the reading side: Today, Days, Stats, Insights, the PDF and the CSV export stay shut until you subscribe again. If you want the figures somewhere else, export the CSV before the subscription ends — it's in Settings, and it's one tap.
Stop guessing what the day made.
